Title: To go, or not to go... that is the question
Post by: BiggLuke on September 17, 2012, 10:20:02 AM: Just wondering, because I would go no matter what. Unless I was so bad off I was in the hospital of course.

Would you let a cold stop you?

Is the guy hung over, does he have the flu, kidney stones, cancer? Each one of these is worse than the next, makes a big difference how "sick" he is before you can answer a poll like that. :twocents:

LOL, a cold is little more than a nuisance during hunting season, I would not classify that is being "sick". :twocents:

Post by: Russ McDonald on September 17, 2012, 10:31:35 AM: I had a little bit of a head cold or alergies this weekend and being out in the woods made me feel better.

Post by: Atroxus on September 17, 2012, 11:05:55 AM: For me it would depend on how sick, and whether or not medicine was helping. If I had a cold but had the coughing/sneezing under control I would go. Last year though I had major upper respiratory infection and no amount of drugs seemed to help. I missed most of the hunting season because I figured it would be a waste of time if every animal in the woods could hear me sneezing/coughing/blowing my nose all day long. :(

Post by: pianoman9701 on September 17, 2012, 11:16:12 AM: Sounds like a puss. Maybe he's sick because he doesn't have a relationship with the woods. Take enough drugs and go hunting in any condition.

Post by: Huntbear on September 17, 2012, 11:32:44 AM: When I smoked, by the time modern elk season rolled around, I had Bronchitis, or some other upper respretory issues.. including fevers, chills, unable to hardly breath... usually brought on from lack of proper rest I was working nights, hunting during the day, sleeping a few hours, then back to work. I was still out there every day hunting, hiking, doing my share to pack out a buddies animal....

Post by: Curly on September 17, 2012, 12:35:00 PM: If it's just a little cold, then getting out in the woods would likely make him feel better. With the weather like it is, getting fresh air and sunshine is almost sure to help and sure wouldn't hurt. :twocents:

Post by: fish vacuum on September 17, 2012, 06:43:10 PM: Fever and/or sore throat would keep me home. A sore throat makes everything miserable.

Title: Re: To go, or not to go... that is the question
Post by: tjthebest on September 17, 2012, 07:44:37 PM: I would rather be miserable out in the woods than be miserable at home/work.

Post by: Natas5150 on September 18, 2012, 10:54:28 AM: If it was just a cold I would go, little sniffle never hurt anyone. However if it was an upper respiratory infection to where I was out of work for 3 days and on antibiotics and coughing I would stay home to get better. Someone posted here that if your coughing and trying to hunt that it wouldn't work because everything would hear you and not to mention if you went with someone you may make their trip to woods miserable to by hacking your head off.
That's just my 2 :twocents:. The way i see it get better so that way you don't end up worse and missing more of the season.
